Hi!

I happen to stumble upon this and found some similarities.
My mother is from Okinawa and her maiden name was Yamashiro, and from what I've heard, my Yamashiro family is from Komesu as well. I'm not very familiar with the areas, but Itoman has come up a lot in topic of Okinawa and so has Makabe. I'm not positive, but I think I have a great great grandfather by the name of Kamata. So hopefully something will click somewhere!

Thank you!

Hi!
Wow, I had forgotten I posted on this account! Not sure original post I had put but I have gone to Okinawa, met relatives and have a little more information. I was told by the Yamashiro's from Komesu that if I should stumble across a Yamashiro from Komesu, that they are all related.
They kept a great family record.
A grand uncle owned a gift/soba shop rght outside of the Himeyuri shrine. It is now run by his son I believe

Hello!
Well first of all, thank you for replying. I didn't think I was going to get a reply at all. Well anyways, how interesting, I have heard that the Yamashiro family was big, but not to the point where the whole town was related.
I don't know about the shop, but I know that my mother was from around that area of Himeyuri Shrine.

WOW. Yes, it seems the family was / is big. The Yamashiro family grave is in walking distance from the Himeyuri shrine. I have photos from when we were there of the grave site, its amazing.
From what you wrote, we could be related. I don't have many relatives here, Hawaii, but there is supposed to be a larger group of relatives in Brazil.

not sure how safe this site is so if you want, please send me your email to d.shiro@ymail.com. Not my mail email but one I do use. Sorry, sometimes internet can be scary

Violet - I am doing research on the Yamashiro family. I am the eldest daughter of Alfredo/Mino Yamashiro. The names you listed are all my uncles. How are you related? Is there a way to reach Isa and Yuki? I would love to interview them. Please contact me. Thank you!

Mariana - I am Alfredo/Mino's daughter and am doing research on Japanese Peruvians after the war. How are you related to the Yamashiro family? My father once said his mother's name was Marina so am wondering what the link is. Look forward to hearing from you.
